I hope you can see the simplicity of it then.

I just went and read the other thread- as I don't go to ATM much...

But Dfrank you seem to indeed believe that there is a hydro-cycle and possibly life on Mars.

The images themselves are not much more than pretty pictures.
They are used primarily as a slight visual aid. We like a picture to go with the data.

But in truth, they play a (relatively)minor role in the study of the planet.
Anyone who feels this is a wrong statement tell me so!

The studies about the planets are done many ways with many techniques and tools. We know quite a bit about Venus but don't have many photos of it. The danged camera keeps melting. Awful ungrateful of the camera...

You also mentioned more than once- that you were seeing something that everyone else wasn't. Isn't that a clue?
You mentioned that other forums are mean.

Well, sometimes people get frustrated when a person won't listen to reason. Without controlling the temper first- a mean post can result. It's NOT that they are mean people by any means. Its that they get frustrated when a person will simply NOT listen to reason and science but keep repeating statements that have already been shown clearly to be incorrect.

I get mean too, sometimes.

ETA: (edit to add) by the way: there is no such thing as "common sense science".
